#MewnBase build v0.43 is up. Small update with scrap recycling, new game over screen, and some other things. 😺

Attempting to finally spruce up the Game Over screen a bit.

Minor update v0.42.4 is out, hoping it might fix some launch-crashes on macOS and other player-reported issues :) 🤞

Think I finally figured out the cause of the buggie inventory duplication issue. Will try and get a build out sometime tomorrow.

Hot damn. https://krita.org/en/krita-4-0-release-notes/

Last night, got new creature #spine anims added in. Took my first stab at using the gdx-ai state machine stuff. Need to figure out better spawning/despawning conditions.

Slowly getting there...

My article on the game MewnBase is now up on #GamingOnLinux. It's a lovely little survival sim featuring a cat in a spacesuit, and comes highly recommended.

Video editing, ~definitely~ not a strength of mine, but figured it was long overdue to get a trailer of some sort hacked together. https://youtu.be/sAYZ9bMEvFw

Clip from doing controller testing last month. Hard to record and use a controller at the same time :P

Not quite sure what I'm making... but having fun making it. #pico8 https://mastodon.social/media/fG2Jc90ayWdFJ5xVqc0

With just two potentiometers attached, it already makes neat sounds. 😀 https://code.google.com/archive/p/tinkerit/wikis/Auduino.wiki

Temps in MA this morning low enough for me to finally bust out my fuzzy-lined hoodie out of storage for the season. Awww yus. 🍂

Devblog ramblings! https://cairn4.itch.io/mewnbase/devlog/9573/experimental-builds-and-other-psas

More learning and fun with #PixelVision8 today. Should probably get back to working on that space-cat thing tomorrow :P
